Legacy 110 - Post visit Community Projects

'Legacy 110' is an award-winning initiative which encourages students who engage in the First World War Centenary Battlefields Tour Programme to deliver a community-based First World War project.

The aim of 'Legacy 110' is for every participating student to create an enduring legacy by impacting upon at least 110 people within their local community. If we achieve this then the total number of people reached by 2019 will equal 888,246, which is equivalent to the number of British and Commonwealth soldiers who fell during the First World War. 'Legacy 110' reinforces the remembrance of these soldiers who were also so vividly commemorated in 2014 through the art installation of poppies at the Tower of London.

We hope that all schools that come on one of our tours encourage their students to create an enduring legacy of their visit by setting up a post visit community project to help commemorate the First World War Centenary.

This section of the website provides you with all the information, ideas and guidance needed to help you and your students set up your own 'Legacy 110' post visit community projects.

Every student who completes a 'Legacy 110' project will receive a certificate of achievement and a specially commissioned First World War centenary pin badge. The best projects will also be showcased on this website and commended at an annual prestigious national awards ceremony.
